We start with Moonlight by Masayoshi Fujita. We hear a couple from Warren Ellis: Piece 3 and Lala's Theme. We hear Paranoid and Credits 2 from the score to Christine. And Junkman's Song by Stark Reality.

Notes

There's a succinct, well-written telling of the ins and outs of Elmer's life and after-life in Christine Quigley's Modern Mummies: The Preservation of the Human Body in the 20th Century. I also enjoyed The Career of Elmer McGurdy, Deceased, by Basgall and Arthur.
